Haha. That can't be right surely?! There's players just don't act like that!
Cotterill gracious in defeat as ever too I see.
Apparently they learnt it from our players after we beat them! I kid you not!!
Here is a bit more from a different Crewe fan.
As for City, I'll be honest, before this game, I had always quite liked them. Decent stadium, decent fan base, all round decent club. However, the product that they served up today was a bloody disgrace. Yeah, when its going well(like Peterborough on Sky the other week), they clearly can play decent football. However, today, when their backs were to the wall and they needed to get a result, all the nasty stuff came out. Cynical fouls, sly tugs, dissent, terrible fouls, god awful football, the works.
Williams could have gone for the scythe through the back of Grant for his first card, but I suppose a yellow was fair. Then he makes a brainless hack at Ikpeazu in our half, another clear yellow, then a red, bye bye. To say both fouls didn't equal yellows and then a red card is laughable to the highest degree.
Then when Ikpeazu was pulled around for what felt like the millionth time, he hand balled it. Slightly lucky, but then half the City team ran up to the ref trying to get him sent off. Disgraceful scenes. Then, when a ball boy wasn't prompt in returning the ball late in the game. Flint(from about 3m away) berates him. I admire his desire to win, but to shout at a young teenager is simply not on. Then Cotterill goes straight down the tunnel at full time and doesn't go over to the 1,000 supporters who'd spent a lot of time and money coming up from Bristol to support the team on the weekend before Christmas. Then he goes on several interviews where he talks utter bollocks. Disgrace of a manager running a disgrace of a team. They should all be ashamed of their conduct today.
We simply let City beat themselves. They didn't take their chances and then their lack of discipline cost them. For all their quality and for all the quality football they played at times today, they managed 3 shots on target. 3, and that is apparently enough to suggest they dominated the game and should have won it. Yeah, ok then. Oh and for all their quality, they were reduced to bringing on JET to punt in long throws to 3 giants in Flint, Smith and Wilbraham.
Happy we got a fully deserved win today, would have felt sick had that Cooper chance cost us or had we lost to a bunch of cheats. Roll on Oldham.
